GRLS", speaks to how anti-gay policies enacted by the LDS Church in 2015 affected himself and other queer people. On April 11, 2018, Glenn announced on his Twitter that he would be making his Broadway debut playing Charlie Price, in Kinky Boots on May 6, 2018 and will play a limited run through July 15, 2018. Personal life In the April 10, 2014, issue of Rolling Stone, Glenn revealed he was gay and discussed keeping his sexuality a secret throughout his life. Glenn said he had known he was gay since he was a young child. "I had my crushes on guys throughout high school, but it was never an overwhelming thing until my twenties," he admits. "Then I'd be dating girls and in love with my straight friend and it was the worst feeling in the world," he said to Rolling Stone. Regarding the Mormon faith he grew up with, Glenn stated in a 2012 interview: "The way I was raised and being a questioner, and getting a lot of my curiosities out early with drugs and alcohol, I think it’s helped me maintain a more even keel where I’m not out of control." It had been widely reported that Glenn and the other members of Neon Trees do not drink alcohol or use illicit drugs. The LDS Church has had a longstanding policy against same-sex marriage. In November 2015, the LDS Church announced children of same-sex married couples could not be baptized until those children are 18 years of age. This policy has since been changed, allowing children of same sex couples to join the church. The 2015 announcement shocked Glenn. He no longer self-identifies as Mormon and later resigned his membership in the church. His 2016 solo album, Excommunication, is about his experience with the LDS Church and his frustration with their policies.
